Can't really provide logs here... One thing I figured out in the
meantime is that the source package seems to be building it for armhf:

debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_MVPP2=m
debian.master/config/annotations:CONFIG_MVPP2                                   
 policy<{'armhf': 'm'}>

so perhaps all is needed is adding a policy for arm64.

Title:
  Missing NIC driver for Armada 8040 (Macchiatobin)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  At least in Ubuntu 19.04, the arm64 kernel (linux-image-5.0.0) is not
  building CONFIG_MVPP2 (depends on CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU) -  a driver for
  network controllers(s) in Marvell SOCs, particularly Armada 8040 -
  neither as a model or a built-in:

  $ uname -m
  aarch64
  $ grep MVPP2 /boot/config-5.0.0-20-generic 
  $

  It makes very hard (and impossible for non-advanced users) to install
  and use Ubuntu on the Macchiatobin board (http://macchiatobin.net/) -
  a reasonably priced and performant server/mini-desktop platform.

  Could it be added, please, and the installer image re-generated.
